About

The University of British Columbia – School of Mining Engineering:

UBC’s Department of Mining Engineering is known for being a small, close-knit family.

Our Department is exemplified by the dedication of the faculty and staff who provide a dynamic, hands-on learning experience for both undergraduate and graduate students.

In addition to their important role as teachers and mentors, the faculty work with graduate students and staff to pursue research in all aspects of mining from technical to social and environmental. Support from alumni, corporations, foundations, students, parents and other friends assist the NBK Institute of Mining Engineering in conducting leading edge research, providing outstanding education and contributing to social and economic development in Canada and around the world.

NBK Mining Engineering works with The Office of the Ombudsperson for Students and all UBC community members to ensure students are treated fairly and can learn, work and live in a fair, equitable and respectful environment.
